Patent JP-2006503288-A (JP)
IPC: G01J1/42
Filed: 2003-10-08
Abstract: A photo-detector (122) generated signal (125) is measured as a sample set (192) comprising a long signal and a short signal. The short signal is scaled to the value of the long signal if the long signal exceeds a dynamic range (131) associated with the photo-detector (122). In one embodiment, the short signal is obtained during a short time interval that is at the approximate middle of a long time interval such that the short and long intervals share a common median time value (194). Given such symmetry, an approximately linear signal (190) yields a proportionality parameter between the long and short signals thereby allowing the short signal to be scaled. The proportionality parameter facilitates determination of an integration independent component of the photo-detector signal that should be removed from the measured long and short signals before scaling. A plurality of sample sets (260) can also be processed such that each sample set overlaps with its neighboring sample set, thereby increasing the effective number of sample sets.
